Discovery of new lineage, insights into when and how fast mammoths adapted to cold climate
The mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid animal.
February 25, 2021
An international research team has sequenced DNA recovered from mammoth remains that are up to 1.2 million years old. The results are published in the journal
The analyses, funded in part by the U.S. National Science Foundation, show that the Columbian mammoth that inhabited North America during the last ice age was a hybrid between the woolly mammoth and a previously unknown genetic lineage of mammoth. The study also provides new insights into when and how fast mammoths became adapted to cold climate.

Physics experiment explores antimatter asymmetry
DOE/Los Alamos National Laboratory
A new paper out in Nature describes unusual results from the E-906/SeaQuest experiment, showing that distributions of antiquarks are significantly different than expected, with more abundant down type antimatter quarks than up antimatter quarks.
LOS ALAMOS, N.M., February 24, 2021 A complex high-energy nuclear physics experiment, aiming to measure the contributions of antiquarks to the structure of the proton and neutron, has produced results that are the opposite of what had previously been understood about proton structure and the dynamics of strong interacting antiquarks and gluons. The main physics result of this experiment has very significant impact on our understanding of the proton structure, and also on the dynamics of strong interacting antiquarks and gluons inside the proton, said Ming Xiong Liu, a Los Alamos National Laboratory author on the new paper, which was published in the

BUFFALO, N.Y. Graphene is incredibly strong, lightweight, conductive . the list of its superlative properties goes on.
It is not, however, magnetic a shortcoming that has stunted its usefulness in spintronics, an emerging field that scientists say could eventually rewrite the rules of electronics, leading to more powerful semiconductors, computers and other devices.
Now, an international research team led by the University at Buffalo is reporting an advancement that could help overcome this obstacle.
